We Have a phone hooked up to our system with not buttons on it other than 1-9 + * and # .. How can they page (feature 610) or call out, etc
 
need more info- flip the phone set over, on the bottom of the set there should be a lable which has the set model number. What your looking for is (ie) M7100 or M7208 or M7310 or M7324- T7208 or T7316 Need to know the Model number of this phone set to be able to answer your question correctly. Also need to know if you are paging other phone sets or Speakers through out your location.
 
If you only have a key pad it's an M7100. Just F610 for page all...Also that extension has to be in a line pool to dial out. When you pick up handset you'll get intercom, press 9 then dial your number. If you can't dial out you'll have to f*0 the extension number, then go into programming and see if it's assigned to a line pool.

It sounds like an analog set connected to the system, via ATA. I don't think you can access feature codes from an analog set.

I have been able to access paging from an analog BCM and Norstar set. You usually have to treat the "Flash" or "Link" button as the Feature button.

For instance to page:

-pick up the receiver
-press "Flash" or "Link" or depress the Hookswitch once
-then press *62 and you'll be connected to overhead paging.

see the following link for an ATA user guide....

 
There you go...thanks for that info Gordon...if I knew it I had forgotten.

Hi Crow,

I hope you didn't take offense, I was just wanting to state my experience. Analog phones are quite bulky and annoying on a Norstar system. All of the complex codes and sequences were the exact reason most users updated to the simplicity of the Norstar phones in the 1990s from bulky old Key systems by Tie or Lanier.

Good case study:

When TJ Maxx stores started replacing their old Aiphone/1A2 phones to TIE "Monitor" systems in the mid 1980s, they only used digital phones for the main service desk. They used Analog phones for the rest of the store....actually Bell Trim Line black old school phones.

When TJX updated to the Nortel Norstar route around 1990, they tried to mimic the same setup with the Norstar digital sets at the service desk, layaway, jewelry and sales floor, but at the registers they used the Northern Telecom "Symphony" analog sets. I assume these became too problematic and too complicated to use, plus the additional expense of having to purchase an ATA for each register, so they went with the M7100 sets around 1995....which in turn made all phones digital and easy to use.

Just my 2 cents.

Oh gosh no, Buddy. this is why I love these forums...we get to share our knowledge with other like-minded individuals...I'm not sure I ever knew that fact about the analogs...good stuff.
